WARNING:EMBEDDED_FILENAME: It's generally not useful to have the filename in the file torvalds#24: FILE: Kconfig:34: +source "drivers/willmcvicker/Kconfig" WARNING:EMBEDDED_FILENAME: It's generally not useful to have the filename in the file torvalds#36: FILE: Makefile:667: + } > Makefile Signed-off-by: Will McVicker <[email protected]>
